Important info on the Title IV E waiver

HEADS UP FAMILY RIGHTS THIS APPLIES TO ALL STATES. Went to a state meeting on the Title IV E waiver. For those who do not know what that is, it was passed by Congress giving leniency to 28 states to use the federal funding for family preservation. Here is the latest skinny: Only two states out of the 28 have applied so far even though it was passed months ago. Part of this is the feds are dragging their feet but the other reason is most states don't know how to put together a new program required for this so they are sticking their heads in the sand. WA State got lucky because the Bill Gates foundation is paying to bring in consultants from Baltimore to help them figure it out. I also found out that each state can waiver whatever they want to. Doesn't necessarily have to go for family preservation. Family preservation is one of three areas they can waiver. SO, it is critical for you activists to push this through and make sure your state is on target for the waiver and applying it correctly. More info to be coming on this later.
